Get the LED Out! Speed Contest Winners Announced

Instructables is happy to announce the winners of the Get the LED Out! contest. As this was a speed contest, all of the voting was done by YOU and (for the random prize) a plastic bin.

To see the full list of entries simply check out the group. For a speed contest, the quality and quantity of the entries was pretty amazing and there are several that deserve to be looked at and appreciated. A big "thank you" to everyone who entered and showed us all the cool things that can be done with a tiny light.

But enough about that... on with the winners!

Pageviews and Ratings Prizes - For receiving the most pageviews and the highest ratings, the authors of these Instructables will each receive an Instructables Robot t-shirt, an Adafruit Industries TV-B-Gone kit, and $75 worth of LEDs from Phenoptix.

Notes about the winners: While it is a great Instructable, Make your own Roll Up Keyboard was disqualified from winning a prize in this contest since the Instructable didn't involve putting any LEDs into the roll-up keyboard. Also, the Awesome led cube was the top of both lists, but was selected as the Ratings winner since it had the bigger lead in Ratings, by ratio, over the second than it did for Page Views.

Ratings Prize Runners-up - For receiving the next highest ratings, the authors of these four Instructables will each receive an Instructables Robot t-shirt.

Random Prize - For being lucky enough to have its name pulled out of a plastic bin, the author of this Instructable will receive an Instructables Robot t-shirt, an Adafruit Industries TV-B-Gone kit, and $75 worth of LEDs from Phenoptix.

Alex - I was pointing out his instructable was posted way before yours. So you didn't know anything about the first posted instructable? Could be a fluke I guess. The idea is very basic and I've seen it happen before. Fungus - As far as I know Instructables also encourages (or downright follows) creative commons - i.e. crediting an inspiration source. It is always nice to have someone add on to an idea! That's what the community is all about. But not crediting is stealing. Strictly out of curiosity, do you guys know each other?

I I started working on my cube before his instructable was even published. The cube you see in my instructable was actually the third one I made, I actually made that one solely for the instructable, because I didn't take pictures of the first two. I saw his instructable before I posted mine, but I had already made two cubes by then, and was not inspired to make them by his instructable. (that would require manipulating time, although my instructable say the cubes can, they actually can't) No, I don't know him.
